[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBPM-586) check out quartz for scheduling and messaging

[Tom Baeyens (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-586?page=all ]

Tom Baeyens closed JBPM-586.
----------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: jBPM 3.2 alpha 2)
       Resolution: Rejected

i evaluated and didn't opt for quartz. integrating it into jBPM was too hard. mainly the db connection management would be really hacky to get quartz to use the same jdbc connection as jBPM. That is what we needed to run fine in a standard environment.

also the extra indirection layer between quartz and jBPM would have added extra unnecessary complexity.

i did get inspired by reading their code and i have developed a unified job scheduler that is used for both asynchronous messaging and timers in jbpm. there's also a completely new locking mechanism.
